At My Own Gym 24-hour gym Byron Bay, we believe in a few key ideas and strategies towards achieving your weight loss goals.

1. Weight loss goals - this is an important part of the process of losing weight , and that's exactly what it is... A process.

The mind game: If you're not ready to make the commitment and make the sacrifices needed to achieve a realistic weight loss goal then it will not happen! Losing weight is like changing your haircut in a lot of ways, it's an emotional thing that impacts different aspects and facets of your life. But when you're are ready to "lose/change" that part of your life you will know it.

Often people will say things like "a switch just clicked in my head" or "I just couldn't handle it any more, I had to make a decision", these are the defining moments that you need to look for, recognise and take advantage of before the weight loss journey can begin.

"The challenge isn't the finish line, it's the start line"...

Realistic Goal Setting: If you're 160kg, a realistic goal is not to lose 60kgs in 3 weeks... Contrary to what popular television shows may have you believe this is not only unrealistic but can be dangerous and what you don't see is the contestants in these shows are training around 6 or 7 hours per day!

Firstly, analyse what in your life has led you get to this point and what parts of the weight gain process can be changed or "tweeked" to help stop it from continuing. This principle can be applied to your goal setting process whether you want to lose 6 or 60kgs.

Sit down look at as many different aspects of your life with a focus on 3 main things:

1: Food intake (calories in)
2: Exercise/Activity regime (calories out)
3: Emotional stability and triggers

After analysing these 3 factors and working out a good course of action to get them on track it's time to set some Real Goals.
